Color print issue

Color print issue

Color print issue

(OP)
I recently noticed that when I print models or color prints from Solidworks my colors don't match what I have on my screen. i.e. blues are purple, reds are much lighter etc. Grays & blacks are fine though. When I create PDF's and print them then the colors are correct. It's not a real big deal since we mostly use PDF's anyway, but check prints (& quick pretty pic's for the boss) don't show true to screen. I checked my video drivers and they are current & Solidworks approved. We even got a in new Hp color laserjet ps printer yesterday (the old one's scanner went out) and it didn't make any difference. Has anyone else noticed this or have any suggestions for a cure.

Thanks

RE: Color print issue

Have checked the settings on the new printer? If the issue started after the purchase of the printer, I would it is the culprit.

I thought it was the old printer. I also uninstalled all of the old printers/drivers & installed the new printer drivers to make sure.
I dug out some old prints that I did at home that are the same way. I used to work for this company part time at night from home. I used this computer and my personal printers. I created PDF's but never printed them at home, just emailed them to the office so I never noticed before.
